Rauf Aliyev, who has played for both Neftchi and Qarabag, spoke to Offsideplus.az about the upcoming "Azerbaijan derby":

"We are seeing a team that is improving with every match. This season, the main contenders for the championship are Sabah and Qarabag.

"Today, we are really expecting an interesting game. Neftchi has been performing well lately. Looking at recent times, this team has managed to bounce back. Then there’s the revamped Qarabag. We are seeing a team that is improving with every match. This season, the main contenders for the championship are Sabah and Qarabag. For Qarabag, three points are very important in such matches. Both teams can win, but I see the Agdam representative as the favourite, 60 to 40."

It is worth noting that the match will kick off today at 19:00.
